T.I., 25, was not hurt but his The May 3 concert in Saint Louis was canceled.

Witnesses told police the fight began at a party for T.I. and fellow rapper Yung Joc after they performed May 2 at Bogarts, a concert hall near the University of Cincinnati.

A dispute with some local residents prompted T.I. and his group to leave the party, but they were pursued by two sport utility vehicles, police said.

A gun battle ensued, with members of the entertainer’s entourage shooting at the pursuing vehicles, police said.

Officers who arrived at the scene near downtown found four people with gunshot wounds.

Philant Johnson, 26, was pronounced dead at a hospital. He was described by a spokesman for T.I.’s Grand Hustle record label as the rapper’s personal assistant.

Three other members of the entourage were hurt. A Minnesota woman was hospitalized in stable condition. A bodyguard and a driver were treated and released.

No arrests have been made. Police said the shooters were gone by the time they arrived.

The rapper started a nationwide tour last month. His CD King debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and sold more than 500,000 copies in its first week, the rapper’s record label said.

T.I., whose real name is Clifford Harris, won the Street Anthem award for “U Don’t Know Me” at last November’s Vibe Awards. He also played a teen in an impoverished section of Atlanta in the movie “ATL” that came out this year.
